If the magnitude of sum of two vectors is equal to the magnitude of difference of the two vectors, the angle between these vectors is

A

`1^(@)`

B

`90^(@)`

C

`45^(@)`

D

`180^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`|overset rarr A + overset rarr B|=|overset rarr A- overset rarr B|`
`A^(2)+B^(2) +2AB cos theta = A^(2) + B^(2)- 2AB cos theta `
`4 AB cos theta =0 `
`cos theta =0`
`theta = 90^(@)`
